There were some dudes up at houghton last night drifting in the  middle of the road.. AE86's i think.  I was on the way up to my mums.. they were taking it pretty seriously by what they were doing.... I wonder if it was in preparation for saturday?

Came down my road (range rd nth) the other day too - Blue AE86, plates where NA 1600, driving like he thought he was Shcumacher

I'm sure in the near future a gum tree or another car will remind him that he is not....................

And I wonder why my neighbours and people on our roads think all jap car drivers are doing crazy shit like this all the time

Doesn't give the public a good perception of jap car enthusiasts, and we wonder why everyone is getting pulled over and harrassed by cops

I had a cop waiting at the top of my drive not long ago, I approached him in my car and asked him what he was doing -

"We had a call some people where driving dangerously and one almost hit another car" fair enough I reckon, shit like that on public roads isnt the right thing to do, and if people get caught, bad luck

In the end, its just going to get to the point where there will be so much attention from the cops due to a few people, owning a import will not be worth it

I agree Chris, some people dont have a clue, I see alot more holden and ford drivers doing crazy sh1t on the roads - and not in modded cars either, usually the heaps of crap.

When the imports are all off the road, they will only have local built cars to pick on. People will drive like d1ck heads no matter what cars they are in, its the driver not the car.

I know people that thrash their commodores up through the hills, so its not the unique domain of the import owner. Hell some drunken d1ck in a ford decided to do a reverse gear burnout through an intersection and just about hit Deans car (I was passenger) one night during a cruise.

If your neighbours think its just jap car drivers, then they are unfortuneately stereotyping. Not much anybody can do about that - its human nature somewhat.

So true guys, but its falling on deaf ears. How long have people been doing burnouts and racing on streest for? Since 50's? 60's?

So why has it become a problem associated with "Import" cars and their drivers when we all know stick basically anyperson in ANY car and they still will try do those stupid things.

And this now gets me to the whole consfication of cars that may be introduced, which i know will target import cars.....

And steve, yeh i remember that bogan, and ur sik navigation skillz

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      Could it really happen......

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
